Minerals and your health

The body must have minerals to support many of its biological functions. The minerals are grouped into two categories, major minerals and trace minerals. Scientists have long recognized that calcium, a major mineral, is an essential nutrient that has many important physiological roles in the body. The major mineral calcium plays an important role in the structures of bones and teeth. It is also believed to be important in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, and plays an essential role in allowing nerve cells to "communicate" with one another.

Calcium

Calcium is found in everyday foods. But while watching your shape you may cut out certain food, such as whole milk, cheeses, yogurts, and meats. Therefore you might miss the minerals they contain! Drinking Contrex® Natural Mineral Water will ensure you are on the right path to getting enough Calcium, especially when you are minding your calories.

Magnesium

Magnesium is another mineral found naturally in many foods in your diet. It serves important roles in your body, like helping cells generate energy and function efficiently. Each eight-ounce serving of Contrex® Natural Mineral Water delivers 4% of the reference daily intake (RDI) for magnesium and contributes to the unique taste of Contrex.
